Token Utility for On-Policy Distillation via Local Trust-Region Optimization

Token-selection methods for on-policy distillation (OPD) prioritize student-visited positions using diverse signals, including uncertainty, teacher-student disagreement, and mismatch direction. We instead derive token importance from the distillation objective itself: how much can each position's loss decrease under an...

Do Perturbation Predictors Learn Gene Interactions? Diagnosing Extrapolation in Agentic Screening

High-throughput perturbation screens increasingly use machine-learning models to predict the effects of gene combinations that were never measured. A difficult case arises when both genes in a test pair were seen individually during training, but their combination was not. In this setting, standard OOD methods often fa...

Do Vision CIL Methods Transfer to Protein? A Diagnostic Benchmark of Frozen Protein Encoders

Protein function annotation operates over an expanding label space, making class-incremental learning (CIL) a natural framework for incorporating newly discovered functions without full retraining. Yet existing CIL methods have been developed largely in vision and have not been systematically evaluated over frozen prot...

Inverse Reasoning Models for Efficient Post-Training and Verification from Answer-Only Data

Post-training reasoning LLMs often requires making a tradeoff between costly supervision and compute inefficiency: supervised finetuning typically requires reasoning traces, which is data inefficient since in many applications one only has prompt-answer tuples and lacks the groundtruth chain-of-thought (CoT) sequence....

Lotus: Learning to Understand Time-series by Learning to Forecast

Time-series language models typically align numerical signals with language using labels, captions, or question-answer pairs, without explicitly requiring their representations to preserve how the underlying signals evolve. We introduce forecast grounding, a pretraining principle that requires language-aligned time-ser...

An Offline Smartphone Check for Drug Interactions and Past Reactions in Handwritten Prescriptions: A Technical Feasibility Study in Rural Bangladeshi Outpatient Care

An offline Android application that photographs a handwritten prescription, detects and reads each medicine line, resolves brand names to active ingredients, and retrieves, but never predicts, documented interactions and the patient's recorded reactions is built and evaluated.

GALA: Generation-Aware Cross-Modal Alignment for Text-to-Time-Series Synthesis

Synthesizing time series from natural language is emerging as the most expressive form of controllable time series generation. However, existing text-conditioned generators either take caption embeddings frozen from off-the-shelf text encoders, or adapt the encoder end-to-end, letting the denoising loss shape the embed...

SiMDex: Mining Similar Egocentric Videos for Cross-Embodiment Dexterous Manipulation

Recent years have witnessed an explosive trend of scaling ego-centric human videos for robot manipulation, yet it remains unclear which data actually benefits dexterous manipulation. We present SiMDex, a similarity-based data mining framework that casts human data selection for VLA post-training in dexterous manipulati...

Simplex Demixing: Disentangling Multiple Light-Flavor Jets at Colliders

Providing a practical and hadron-level definition of multiple jet flavors has been a long-standing challenge in collider physics. Previous work has introduced a data-driven, operational definition of quark and gluon jets, but no robust generalization beyond two jet categories presently exists. To address this, we intro...

Approximate reservoir computing with a semiconductor laser for reducing energy consumption

Photonic reservoir computing is a promising physical machine-learning approach for time-series prediction. Quantization of the reservoir response signal is an important consideration in the implementation of photonic reservoir computing, and the number of quantization bits and sampling frequency need to be optimized to...

Photonic reservoir computing with complex networks

Photonic reservoir computing has attracted increasing attention as a fast and low-cost approach for time-series prediction. Photonic reservoir computing utilizes the high speed, broad bandwidth, and spatial parallelism of light. However, the effect of the internal connection structure (network topology) on the computin...

Diffusion ReRoll: Revisable Denoising for Robotic Sequential Prediction

We propose Diffusion ReRoll, a diffusion-based framework for robotic sequential prediction that enables revisable denoising over horizons. Existing diffusion-based sequence predictors typically perform a single monotonic denoising process. In contrast, Diffusion ReRoll selectively re-noises regions that reach a predefi...
